Lalla Takerkoust
Paragliding at Lalla Takerkoust
Lake Lalla Takerkoust, at the foot of the High Atlas and about 40 minutes from Marrakech, is our launch site. Turquoise water, golden ridgelines and calm air at dawn and sunset — the ideal conditions for a first tandem paragliding flight.
Flying over the lake
From the heights above the dam, you take off facing the lake and glide over the water and shoreline. The view takes in the reservoir, the surrounding villages and the Atlas range — a panorama you only get from the sky.
40 minutes from Marrakech
Lalla Takerkoust is one of the closest flying sites to Marrakech: roughly a 40-minute drive south-west. It's the perfect half-day adventure, with transport available from your accommodation.
Take off facing the High Atlas
The terrain and lake breeze create smooth, steady conditions, ideal for tandem flight. We fly early in the morning or late in the day, when the air is calmest and the light on the peaks is at its best.
Beginner-friendly
No experience needed. A certified pilot fully controls the wing; take-off and landing take just a few steps. Your photos and video are handed to you after the flight.
